I guess this item clearly states it wants to go to a healer, not a dpsthatbenefits from spirit.

I am a healer, and I love spirit and haste, but I hate this belt. Why? Because:

1) Some idiot at Blizzard thought it would be a great idea to put TWO SPIRIT CLOTH BELTS ON THE SAME DAMN BOSS. Honestly, has this stupidity been duplicated on any other boss? Do any others drop an item of the same armor class, same slot, and a duplicated secondary stat that is desired by only 1 class able to wear that armor type? It seems almost specifically designed to screw you on a spent elder token, if you're lucky enough to even win something.

2) This belt has only one socket. You might say, "That's ok, the other belt with 2 sockets (Belt of Embodied Terror) has spirit and mastery, so as a haste-lover this belt should be better." Should be, except that by reforging the mastery on the other belt and socketing haste, you can actually get MORE haste on the NON-HASTE belt.

3) The other belt also gets a BUNCH more spirit (though at the expense of some int). Somehow, the other belt spends part of its item budget on a socket, and STILL ends up with more base spirit than this.

4) Not content with simply creating this terrible belt, they didn't feel their job was done until they put this monstrosity into the loot table of a second boss, which can't drop the better belt at all! So you can experience the joy of getting this vendor trash in exchange for your extra roll on two bosses in a row! Makes you want to take enchanting just so you can at least get a sha crystal out of it.
